Lost file finder for Mac

Unclutter Pro Recover Files is a read-only search workflow for videos, photos, documents, and attachments you cannot find with normal Finder search.

Why people choose Unclutter

  • Search by date, source, file type, and keyword
  • Covers Photo Booth, Messages, Photos, Trash, folders, and drives
  • Copies selected files instead of moving originals
  • Optional hashes, manifests, and video contact sheets

What Recover Files can find

Recover Files does not perform raw disk undelete. It looks for files that still exist in places macOS apps store media and attachments, then helps you copy selected results into a clean recovery folder.

  • Photo Booth movies and pictures
  • Messages attachments and temporary media
  • Photos Library originals
  • Trash
  • Personal folders and mounted volumes

Why Finder search misses things

Finder search can miss library packages, app attachment folders, old temporary paths, and files with names you do not remember. Recover Files lets you search by date, type, source, and keyword together.

Recovery exports

When you select results, Unclutter Pro copies them into a recovery folder. It can include SHA-256 hashes, a JSON manifest, a search summary, and optional video contact sheets.
